I am helping a friend who has switched from PC to Mac.<br>Everything is going well except.....<br>I can not get her Yahoo mail account to work with Mail.app<br>She can not receive mail.<br>I have her mail settings as follows:<br>Incoming mail server is: pop.mail.yahoo.com<br>Outgoing mail server is: smtp.mail.yahoo.com<br>Server port is 587.<br>Any suggestions?<br><br>

I tried to set up an account in Apple Mail to receive my Yahoo mail and couldn't get it to work.<br><br>I just don't think Yahoo's servers can be configured as a proxy mail server. IOWs, I suspect they want you to log in to their servers in order to capture your eyes. The promotional gimmickry is what allows them to provide the free email service.<br><br>Now, when they begin "pushing" their mail to Apple's iPhone, I believe you will be able to have your mail pulled in using Apple Mail but that remains to be seen.<br><br>Good luck.<br><br><br>M i c h a e l (OFI)

gmail works just swell. she could have all of her mail forwarded to a new gmail account. and then gmail allows you to send mail from another account (e.g., her yahoo account), so nobody would even know. <br><br>--<br>"I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country" --president bush on 9/27/05
